About this award
Central Copters, Inc., a small business based in Belgrade, Montana, was awarded a $595,951.68 firm fixed-price delivery order by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), a civilian agency under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and Department of the Interior. The contract, awarded September 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2029, represents a non-set-aside competitive award. This delivery order falls under Central Copters' broader relationship with NIFC, leveraging the company's specialized expertise in aerial firefighting and aviation services that have been integral to federal wildland fire management operations across the Western United States since the company's founding in 2003.
The delivery order supports Central Copters' core mission of providing helicopter-based aerial firefighting services, which typically include fire retardant drops, aerial reconnaissance, air attack supervision, and personnel/equipment transportation. This award builds upon Central Copters' two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs)—a $50 million IDC with NIFC through December 31, 2034, for Type 1 Helicopter Support Services and a $50 million IDC with the National Park Service Intermountain Region through December 31, 2033, for Type 2 Helicopter Support Services. These arrangements enable rapid deployment of the contractor's helicopter assets for call-when-needed wildfire suppression and management operations across federal lands.
